Is this normal? I'm particularly concerned about port 445-the microsoft-ds service. *Puts on tinfoil hat.* I don't have any reason that I'm aware of to have open ports. I'm not a gamer, I don't connect anywhere remotely, and I don't remember doing anything that would open any ports.

I'm starting to be a little...interested...now. Gufw is crashing every second time I launch it and does not show up in my menu (Cinnamon). By "crashing" I mean that the gufw window shuts down suddenly. When I launch it after that everything is turned off. When I enable it "in" and "out" have no values. And then when I set them correctly, close the window, and launch it again, it crashes. And so on...

Fred I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it looks to me as if the firewall will not allow any incoming on your ports. Also, I run LMDE2 64 bit also and have had the same trouble with gufw.

I've never seen so many warnings from rkhunter in my life! I don't know what you guys think, but I'm getting outta here until I hear more! At least I have triple-boot. Back soon!
EDIT: I also can't log out. Hmmm....

EDIT2: I just booted into Kali and had a similar (though not identical) result. After running "rkhunter --propupd" the warnings were gone. I still don't trust it right now, though. Fortunately, my install of Betsy reconfigured to use Devuan is reporting clean.

Thanks Habitual. The only trouble is I'm afraid to boot back into that installation until I figure out what those warnings were about! I'd dismiss 'em as false positives if it weren't for:
(a). I run rkhunter a good bit and I've never seen anything like this before. I've definitely run it multiple times on this installation and it's always come back clean.
(b). My not being able to log out was also slightly suspicious.
I'm a tad worried now I've got a "friend" in my system.

Yeah, sorry, I started a new thread a few hours ago about this. I was just letting you know that the link you sent did not show any open ports.

But as far as rkhunter itself goes, I do believe that the trouble was my not running the --propupd just as you mentioned. If you want to look at that thread, it's http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 2&t=207441 I'll post there in a moment with /var/log/rkhunter.log

EDIT: Wait...what??? I was responding to a post by you that doesn't seem to be there.
